Abstract

Relevance: Quantitative sensory testing is a promising method for evaluating mechanisms that promote the development of pain syndrome, the use of which can improve the diagnosis and effectiveness of pain management. Objective: to study and evaluate the reference values of temperature sensor testing. Methods: reference values of thresholds for cold and warm thresholds, cold and heat pain thresholds in sensory points L4, L5, S1, C5, C6, C7 and C8 in 34 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 years were determined. Results: The range of normal values of temperature values of QST for residents of Karelia is determined. Conclusion: The reference values of temperature quantitative sensory testing differ from those obtained for residents of other countries. These results must be taken into account in determining the normal and pathology in patients with pain syndromes.
